What lies beneath


Now that many people are reporting no contact in two weeks and the deal is unlikely

Hercules:



Bit late for that mate.
And then there's this gem:

Even in a barrel full of the worst ITK bullshitters, this guy would be at the absolute bottom.

Also, the few comments I've seen bashing the ITK have not gone unnoticed. Pretty simple really, can quite easily just stop posting.

As was stated the other day, we can only pass on what we are told. Will it always be right?! Of course not! But on this occasion it's very clear the club were being told one thing by his representatives when it clearly wasn't that simple.

We were VERY confident that CE would be returning.

Going to take a short break from posting as I pass on what I'm told and I won't then read through a few posts with digs aimed at that info.

One of the funniest things about ITK is when their comments don’t come to pass and they get called out for it then they throw their toys out the pram and get offended.

If you were confident in what you were saying then you wouldn’t really care what people on the internet are saying because you KNOW your source is legit.

It just shows up what a farce this is. Even reputable journalists with MULTIPLE sources from both sides will get things wrong. Supposed itk with one source or fewer will get things wrong all the time. There’s no special insight there.
 
Not surprised at all about the Eriksen stuff. He totally fucked us last time he was here, Berbatov is the only comparable situation I can remember of just completely downing tools and giving not a single fuck. Never really got the sense he has a strong connection to the club, besides a few half-assed quotes when he played against us.

Four days after sleepwalking through the UCL final, he came out with an interview that he wanted a "new challenge". You just had the chance to win Champions League and you looked totally disinterested mate.

Spent the whole summer and winter trying to get Real Madrid and Barca interested, of which they had zaero, before settling for Inter, who were still clawing their way back relevancy thanks only to Conte.

Never really liked the bloke, never bought the fairytale return nonsense, hope he enjoys the 350k at United after talking about how he want to play in Champions League again. I tried to talk myself into him returning being a positive thing, especially because it was on a free but I feel quite relieved I don't have to watch him jog about in Spurs shirt again.
I think I agree with you good player. Never felt great love for the club from him. He seems to have remarkable PR from some fans for some reason. For example I think Dele Alli loves Spurs , when he came back with Everton it was writ large in his face. The abuse he got for what he cost and contributed is weird. I wish Chris well but I'm fine with him putting on another shirt in a way I wasn't with other player. I trust Conte just damn well get him what he wants.

It’s the model though, they need money off the back of it in donations. I am sure some of them have a contact with an agent or someone in the club.

I have no issue with them posting any information they get as ‘’heard from a source’’. Issue is it feels like they need more ITK than exists so poorer info comes to pass and this is more likely to be wrong. Then when it goes wrong and just one poster says a rude word they throw their toys out of the pram like children.

If you have a contact with the club or an agent and post info given to you in good faith that’s fine. If you turn it into a cult following and make your ITK’s gods it just comes across as fucking weird and in the end laughable.

If this happens it is a miracle. I do not want to look a mug. Been too many twists. But dare I say ‘Bye-bye.

Hercules has gone from “Nailed on” to “its a miracle if it happens” in the space of a week or 2. What a bullshitting cunt he really is.
 
Yeah, if he has been briefed of the above, then probably Eriksen has chosen someone else.
or we can't give him what he's looking for, which might be a starting spot. It would be foolish to not enquire, but very foolish to promise something we can't, or don't wan to deliver.

Personally speak it's always handy to have a quality player at our disposal but I would prefer we look for new younger blood if i'm honest.
